WSPA advances UN collaboration on animal welfare issues
Earlier this month, WSPA representatives visited United Nations (UN) Headquarters in New York to engage members of more than 30 permanent missions and UN agencies in discussions on the links between good animal welfare practices and the United Nation's agenda for sustainable development.
Integrating development and animal welfare issues
At the end of a week-long series of meetings, the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Seychelles to the United Nations and WSPA co-hosted a short briefing and reception at UN headquarters.
The reception was attended by government representatives from all regions of the United Nations, as well as representatives from WSPA partner organisations including the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).
Ambassador of the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Seychelles H.E. Ronald Jean Jumeau spoke at the event.
"In Seychelles we believe that instilling care and respect for, and promoting the humane management of animals at home, at the work place and on the farm will help reap dividends on a much wider scale," said Ambassador Jumeau.
"Caring for the welfare of animals helps us better look after ourselves, our families, communities and societies, and, in this age of global food and economic crises, strengthen our food security and national economies as well."
Protecting animals, people and the environment
Nearly one billion of the world's poorest people depend on animals for their livelihoods.
Good animal care reduces the risk of disease, increases agricultural productivity, ensures food security and improves environmental sustainability, yet there is currently no formal recognition of the importance of animal welfare as part of the global development agenda.
"Livestock are essential to the survival of the world's most vulnerable societies," said Larry Roeder, Jr., UN affairs director for WSPA.
"To help safeguard livestock and improve community resiliency, it is crucial to build a partnership between the animal welfare community and the development community and to merge animal welfare issues into the UN global development agenda."
Building a global conversation
As a result of discussions with the WSPA, governments and UN agencies are intensifying efforts to collaborate on animal welfare issues and open communications between inter-governmental sectors and non-governmental organisations to better benefit animals and the people that depend on them.
WSPA, alongside its key partners, is urging the UN community to formally call for a partnership between the animal welfare and development communities to help further progress in both areas.
The alliance of animal welfare organisations supports a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare (UDAW) at the United Nations. If adopted, it will be the first international agreement recognising that animals are capable of experiencing pain and suffering and that their welfare should be respected.

Cellar/Tasting Notes A good quality wine with expressive aromas of red berry fruit and hints of violet that precede rich, round and vibrant flavors.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Winemaker's Notes: "This wine is both simple and elegant. A nice purple colour. Delicate red fruit aromas on the nose. This is a great example of what the Pinot Noir grape can produce on the Burgundian terroir."
Joseph Drouhin Pre-Arrival sale: The village wines will arrive in June 2013..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Fabulously fruity and wonderfully priced and bursting with aromas of strawberry, incense and wild flowers.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The wines from this 5th generation family-estate offer incredible values, especially in a vintage like 2010. Chofflet represents the best of the Cote Chalonnaise.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Marsannay Rosé is a unique to Marsannay because it is the only village appellation in Burgundy that offers white, red and rosé wines. The rosé is part of the family history since the owner's grandfather, after returning from the war in 1919, had the idea to vinify the grapes of Pinot..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... Layers of dark red fruit, flowers and spices caress the palate in this supple, radiant wine. This shows lovely mid-palate presence and plenty of depth within the context of the vintage. This is another gorgeous set of wines from Philippe Collotte ..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A young and fruity wine, with aromas of red fruits and cherries, with a delicate structure and soft tannins.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Domaine Andre Gagey Savigny-les-Beaune clos des Guettes Premier Cru 2011 is a pinot noir from the Cote de Beaune region of Burgundy, France. It is produced by acclaimed Burgundy producer, Louis Jadot
Cellar/Tasting Notes The vintage red Burgundy is made from the domaine's parcels in Vosne Romanée and Flagey, plots consisted mostly of old vines giving a great concentration to the level of appellation wine. This wine is also complemented by purchasing grapes or wines from winemakers in the Côte de Nuits Marsannay ,..

Building Homeby Eric John Abrahamson
Building Home is an innovative biography that weaves together three engrossing stories. It is one part corporate and industrial history, using the evolution of mortgage finance as a way to understand larger dynamics in the nation's political economy. It is another part urban history, since the extraordinary success of the savings and loan business in Los Angeles reflects much of the cultural and economic history of Southern California. Finally, it is a personal story, a biography of one of the nation's most successful entrepreneurs of the managed economy --Howard Fieldstad Ahmanson. Eric John Abrahamson deftly connects these three strands as he chronicles Ahmanson's rise against the background of the postwar housing boom and the growth of L.A. during the same period. As a sun-tanned yachtsman and a cigar-smoking financier, the Omaha-born Ahmanson was both unique and representative of many of the business leaders of his era. He did not control a vast infrastructure like a railroad or an electrical utility. Nor did he build his wealth by pulling the financial levers that made possible these great corporate endeavors. Instead, he made a fortune by enabling the middle-class American dream. With his great wealth, he contributed substantially to the expansion of the cultural institutions in L.A. As we struggle to understand the current mortgage-led financial crisis, Ahmanson's life offers powerful insights into an era when the widespread hope of homeownership was just beginning to take shape.

Indicators of Coastal Water QualityFollow Us: Follow Us on Facebook | Share: Twitter Delicious Digg Facebook
Change in Chlorophyll-a Concentration, v1 (
1998 – 2007)
- Purpose:
- To provide tabular data on the trends of chlorophyll-a concentration on a pixel by pixel basis for identifying areas with improving, declining, and stable coastal water quality that can provide guidance for decision making in the context of coastal management.
- Abstract:
- The Change in Chlorophyll-a Concentrations 1998-2007 component of the Indicators of Coastal Water Quality Collection represents a tabular time series of the chlorophyll-a concentrations for each grid cell, derived from the "Indicators of Coastal Water Quality: Annual Chlorophyll-a Concentration 1998-2007" data set. Chlorophyll-a concentrations are derived from NASA's Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS). The grid cells are organized by country, and the percentage of change from 1998-2007 is calculated for each cell. Each time series was assessed with a linear regression, and cells with statistically significant trends in chlorophyll-a concentrations are identified. The rows of the table are linked to a sequence grid from the "Indicators of Coastal Water Quality: Ancillary Data" collection to facilitate the mapping of the trend values for selected countries and areas of interest. The data are processed and compiled by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).

So now the Avengers Academy makes more sense... I was quite confident we were going to see some Emma/Phoenix relationship.
(W) Christos N. Gage (A) Tom Grummett, Timothy Green (CA) Giuseppe Camuncoli
When the X-Men come for the school's Sentinel, who will take a stand?
tk is fine and nice (and somehow expected..) The PF? I don´t know.. it looks beatiful on her but it is true hosts usually end up badly.... hopefully she will be some kind of a herald.. (she is the little soul that was warned to be prepared... wasn´t she?). Also, do you think she is the one in the shadow fighting Thor?
I think it's more likely for that to be Dark Hope or Wanda. Though it could still be Emma, yeah.
I do think that she'll merely be a herald or enhanced and not carry the actual force. I mean, so far the covers show her wielding extra power not changing her appearance or costume to match the Phoenix.

That Emma has something with the stupid fiery bird is the last thing I want to see in AVX.

http://www.usatoday.com/life/2006-06...ractions_x.htmThe studio is also exploring a movie with Three Kings director David O. Russell based on the character of Emma Frost, a sexy mutant telepath who can transform her skin into diamonds. She is an X-Men comics regular but was not featured in the movie
Old news... I've never known this before. I mean, wow! An X-movie based on Emma! David O. Russell! (I loved his The Fighter)...
But I guess we'll never have a chance to wacth it on the big screen...so sad :(

ABC counters with the more uplifting "Secret Millionaire," which begins its season at 8 p.m. Sunday. Anne Beiler, founder of Auntie Anne's Pretzels, goes to Baltimore to help people and groups in need.

The latest honorees: Doris Day on Friday, Alec Guinness on Saturday and character actress Mary Boland on Sunday. The highlights: Day as the title character in "Calamity Jane" at 8 p.m. Friday, Guinness in "Lawrence of Arabia" at 8 p.m. Saturday and Boland in "Ruggles of Red Gap" at 8 p.m. Sunday.

Rain holds up India charge (From Burnley and Pendle Citizen)

Rain holds up India charge
10:23am Friday 27th December 2013 in National Sport News © Press Association 2014
Heavy rain in Durban ruined India's chances of building a quick second-day platform in the second Test against South Africa.
An unbroken downpour firstly delayed the start of day two, then completely washed out the morning session.
An early lunch was taken at 11.30am local time (9.30am GMT) in a desperate bid to give as much opportunity of the teams getting out into the middle as possible.
India dominated the first day of the final Test before bad light stopped play.
When the sides do finally resume they will do so with Murali Vijay (91 not out) and Cheteshwar Pujara (58no) itching to cement India's first-day foundation of 181 for one.
Shikhar Darwan remains the only wicket to fall in the match so far, removed by Morne Morkel for 29 when India had 41 runs on the board.
South Africa great Jacques Kallis will be just as desperate as the Indians for the weather to dry up.
The 38-year-old chose Christmas Day to announce his Test retirement at the end of this match.
The 166-Test veteran bowled seven overs on day one but was unable to make a breakthrough, and will doubtless look forward to South Africa's first innings, whenever it comes, and a chance to clock up some runs.

text: Maria will never read this but it is apparent that strength is the only thing lacking in her game. A close look at Maria's face and body shows a distinct lack of muscle development. Sure she has the best training money can buy but what she doesn't have is a high protein intake. All that physical training gets rid of fat (fat cells cannot be destroyed) but also muscle is destroyed due to a lack of protein. Maria's face still has that baby fat appearance and if she ever gets the right medical advice and reads Michael Eades Protein Power book she will be one, if not the, greatest tennis player of all time.

I live and breathe health and fitness. To me it's a way of life that makes me feel so alive I want to share it with everyone around me. That's why I chose to become a full time fitness professional in this industry I am so passionate about.
My interest for health and fitness really began in 1989 when I was 18 and my boyfriend at the time (now my beautiful husband), introduced me to the local gym. I was always a sporty child but the gym seemed to bring out a passion in me. It unleashed an inner energy and healthy lifestyle which opened up a new world and so my fitness career was born. In 1992 I trained to become a group fitness instructor and started teaching 'Aerobics' part time around my working hours. My love of the industry grew stronger each year and I was soon craving this inspiring field on a larger scale. It was in 2005 that I decided life was too short not to be living the career I really wanted so I made the change. I studied to become a Personal Trainer and gave up my full time corporate career.
That was 7 years ago and I have never looked back. Today as a Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor I teach and participate in everything that I am passionate about. From Bodypump to Pilates. Boxing to Bootcamp. Crossfit to Suspension Training. Running to Cycling. Shopping Centre exercise groups to Strength Training older adults and people with a disability. Whatever fitness trend I haven't tried I will undertake and wherever my strengths lie I will teach. I love to continually learn and grow. Upgrade my skills, better my knowledge, find the latest and best ways and share with everyone. I love to train hard and step outside my comfort zone as I believe true changes happen when you are challenged and uncomfortable.
One of my favourite quotes is 'Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment' and this is how I grow. Not everything in life is easy, but with a dream, a desire, sheer determination and discipline we can achieve our goals. In my role as fitness coach and mentor to my clients I want to help them achieve this dream. From personal weight loss, to increased strength, health and vitality. From changing thoughts and minds to a positive, to understanding how bodies function with good nutrition and training. Through my future planned study I am passionate about passing on my increased knowledge to continually inspire, motivate, and encourage those around me to grow as individuals.
I came across lululemon athletica when they first came to Australia and opened the doors to their Chapel Street store in 2004. From the minute I stepped inside and was welcomed with such warmth I knew I was in athletic wear heaven. A brand with a difference. From my first pair of Groove Pants to my favourite Racerbacks, each week I seem to find a new design, style or colour that I just can't live without.
I am honoured to be a part of the lululemon family. Their cultural beliefs and community spirit align with my own philosophies on life. Giving without expectation and making a difference. No matter what your age, background or ability. We need to believe in ourselves, love who we are and pass on our positive energy. Because a healthy mind, a healthy body and a healthy outlook can take us anywhere.

To start off discussion, the most interesting part of the promo, to me anyway, was Addison and Mark's conversation about "I didn't want a baby with you." There was lots of great discussion about this in the episode thread, but it got eaten. What do people think of this one?

I don't think he was all that private to be honest with you. He had 10 - 15 people living with him at all times. He always seemed to need people around him.
The Presleys were private,and that's normal for such a star,but what I don't get is why did Elvis and Vernon let themself photographed while they where crying about the lost of Gladys...????
It don't look like it's taken without knowing ,so does anybody know more info about that picture of Elvis and Vernon crying..?
I'd like to go to Graceland
I don't think he was all that private to be honest with you. He had 10 - 15 people living with him at all times. He always seemed to need people around him.
I don't know anymore about those pictures. Just seems the reporters, etc. tried to catch every facet of a stars life...
To me, that would be strictly "off limits."
"I have learned never to ridicule any man's opinion, however strange it may seem."
I`ll never understand why the media can`t just leave people alone at times like that....or maybe it just seems worse to ordinary people beacause we don`t have it around us all the time.....The photos are heartbreaking.
Yes the photos are heartbreaking but the media is heartless.
This picture is so heartbreaking to see elvis and vernon look so lost and upset.
I remember reading (or was it watching?) the photographer talking about this famous shot of Vernon comforting Elvis.
As I recall - and my memory may be hazy here - the snapper was invited onto the grounds of Graceland (this is definite) , and that Vernon gave his permission for it to be published (this may be my memory playing tricks on me).
But I cannot for the life of me remember the snapper's name ...
Getlo - cute'n'cuddly
I think that right there was one of the most life-altering moments of his entire life.
In his very large photo book, Alfred Wertheimer states (and I'm paraphrasing here) that he literally followed Elvis everywhere - even into his washroom, and although Elvis gave him a questioning look -almost as if to say, "why are you following me in here?" - Elvis did not tell him to back off.
We are always reading about how fans crowded around his home and that Gladys brought them drinks and snacks, but she never told them to - well - "get the H*** off my property!" I think maybe photographers simply took for granted that it could be done (taking these very invasive photos) because it had always before been done. I think if anyone could have made the paparazzi back off, it would have been Elvis, because he had always been very generous and giving of himself and his time with fans.
Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go
Very sad to look at that photo indeed. Can't imagine the heartbreak that was too Elvis and Vernon also..
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
so Sad............................................... ...
Look at ELVIS' eyes...as much as they look sad...they look lost.
I will never forget you Rosanne.
So sad picture!
Taking Care of BusinessTil we meet you again, may God bless you, Adios.
Was this picture taken on the front steps of Graceland?
I'd like to go to Graceland
How upsetting for him.
Sad pictures..
Ladies, He's mine
Very sad, for them both
In a way I have to agree with Lisarose. The Presleys always had tons of people around and Elvis while young learned to express his feelings openly. It wasn't until later that he started to pay attention to his "image" and kept personal things from the public.
Yes Elvishimself, I believe that photo was taken on the front steps of Graceland.

From the L.A. Times:
Top pitching prospect Clayton Kershaw will be recalled from double-A Jacksonville to start against the Colorado Rockies tonight and Manager Joe Torre said he expects the 20-year-old left-hander to remain in the majors for the rest of the season.
Hopefully he gets the same run support as Eric Stults got in last night's game, although I'm still not too thrilled that they've called him back up to pitch at Coors Field. Either way, should be a fun one. Speaking of last night's game, wasn't that quite the classic Coors Field showdown? In case you didn't watch, the Dodgers busted out with 8 in the first inning (after opening up against the Rockies in the first inning with 10 a couple of months ago, remember), and had a lead that was as big as 11-0 at one point. Unfortunately, while the offense was clicking, no one could shut the Rockies down and the final score was 16-10. Great to get the win, but the sweetness of it decreased as the game progressed, especially with the arms in the bullpen we had to burn through.
The second half has seemed to be a reverse: the offense has been gradually coming together while the pitching has been far from impressive.
In other stories in Dodgerland, some news on the LaRoche front, who went 1-3, 2 BB, 1 R, with 1 RBI, last night:
Torre said Andy LaRoche could start at third base for the entire series in Colorado, an indication that the Dodgers might be showcasing him for a potential trade. Though Torre said General Manager Ned Colletti had "irons in the fire," he claimed that he had to put LaRoche in the lineup out of fairness to the 24-year-old. "We've asked him to play off the bench, which is hard for a young player," Torre said. . .
Joe, it's July 22nd. Andy was called up on June 10th. It took you a little over a month to figure this out?
Ever notice how long it takes for management to realize something that everybody knows already? I've always wondered how it applies to their real life.
"Ali, did you know that they ended prohibition?!"
"We defeated the Nazi's!"
"The earth is round!"
"WHAT?! You mean that really isn't Ned's hair?!"
In all seriousness, despite the fact that it's nice to see Andy getting some starts this series, I'll have to agree with the theory put out by the real Vin: this does seem like a showcase. Let's hope not…

This is what I'm planning for Valentine's dinner for my husband and me.
Starting with a salad of mesclun lettuces with sliced mini sweet peppers, black berries, chopped raw almonds and a dressing of fresh squeezed orange juice and EVOO.
Rare steak with caramelized onions. And sauteed kale with garlic confit and shallots for me (husband won't touch) and a baked sweet potato for him.
For dessert a parfait of raspberries, layer of whipped cream, another layer of raspberries with melted very dark chocolate poured on top then put in the freezer for about 15 minutes so the chocolate forms a hard shell.
Oh and a very nice bottle of Cabernet.

I can tell you what not to make: heart-shaped meatloaf.
I thought it would be cute, but in reality it looked pretty gross.
Answer by blueballoon 4894 · Feb 06 '12 at 05:19 PM
Based on past experience, I'd stay away from anything too heavy. I don't know if this helps, but here's what I'm planning on making:
scallop ceviche (make-ahead and no-cook!)
carnitas in lettuce cups (slow-cooked, so very little effort + max taste) with homemade pico de gallo (make ahead) and assorted garnish
chocolate-covered strawberries
Don't stress out about your meal, or it won't make your evening very romantic. (I've done complicated, and it's not so great for the atmosphere if I'm anxious about getting everything done on time and with no mistakes.)

Very mild temperatures on the Mountain today, but it will be cooling off this afternoon and evening. There will be rain south of us but none expected here today. The temp now is 51 degrees at 7:21 a.m. and I have to work today. :(
Overtime affords better scotch though. :)
TOTD: Alcoholic beverages. Do you imbibe? If so, what's your favorite spirit? What's your favorite mixed drink?
I'm a scotch drinker. Blended, my favorite drink is to fill a glass with ice then fill it with scotch. Single malt I drink neat.
I also enjoy a good martini. Bombay, Beefeaters or Boodles gin. Also like Tanqueray.
My standard scotch is The Low Flyer (Famous Grouse). Haven't settled on a favorite single malt but am open to suggestions.

In more than 50 years of airplane travel I've logged hundreds of hours in airports. I note this as I sit, facing an unexpected and lengthy delay, in Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. My instinct is to spend as little time as possible here, yet these days I'm conflicted. This is no longer the drab place that 20 years ago offered travelers a handful of newsstands and fast-food joints. These days, Atlanta's airport, joining many others around the world, is a little city with a broad range of diversions. Now the question is: Should I stay or should I go?

I'm basically building an apartment for my mother-in-law in our basement with a full bath, kitchen, washer & dryer hookups, and all. We're on septic tank, and the line going out of the basement is about 1.5' off the ground. I would like to install the pump near this line so it wont have to pump so hard to get the waste water out, but it requires a lot of trenching to get it there. The other method is to install it in middle of the basement and let all the water drain to it from there, then pump it up and out to the sewer line.
My main concern is reliabilty and failsafes to prevent flooding. What is the best pump setup I can buy with the highest reliabilty for frequent use? It will probably run every day at least once, I'm thinking. Also, what else is there to prevent a flood besides the high water alarm? Or will that be sufficient if you're aware of your system. Any suggestions?
I know that the pump will eventually go bad, but I can deal with every 10-15 years as opposed to every 2-3 years. Are my expectations realistic for my application? I'm currently looking at Zoeller (M267) units now with .4 to .5 HP motors. Please help.

great! – fresh and fast
really private and unique atmosphere
Must try. Great service. Fish was very fresh and tasty.
The best sushi in SF – Always fresh and reasonably priced. The staff is friendly without being annoying. The BEST Gyoza anywhere.
One of the best sushi delivery! – This is one of the better sushi delivery in the city. Food is always consistent and available for both lunch and dinner! Great for people who likes to order deliveries and enjoy yummy japanese food at home!
Best Sushi in the City, Flat out – I can't believe this place doesn't have a top rating. I have been in SF for 8 years. I have gone to all of the hot spots in the Marina, Pac Heights, Russian Hill, and Nob Hill. I have never had better sushi, especially the sashimi.
It is definitely a little more casual place, but I swear to god this is the best sushi in town. If it were on a busier block, it would be packed every night.
The service is great because it is small and quaint. I don't no who that other person was that wrote a bad review.
They even deliver which is great because sometimes it is tough to get parking. I suggest a cab if you don't live in the neighborhood.
I hope more people write great reviews, and this place gets the credit it deserves.
Tiny, tony sushi spot on Russian Hill. – In Short
This miniature neighborhood sushi bar and restaurant seats about 20 comfortably, mostly at tables for two - which is why its free delivery option is a popular one for local denizens. Those lucky enough to score a seat can enjoy a stylish, brightly lit dining experience with pricey Japanese tidbits from sashimi to fancy rolls to sizzling teppan yaki (hot, cooked plates of fish, steak or seafood) and a wide range of dinner combination specials.
Phenomenal Sushi – There are few words that can come to mind to describe Sushi Rapture, but two do come to mind: Blown Away.
This is by far the best sushi I have ever tried. Being a San Francisco native, I have had my fair share of different sushi spots, and the others cant even compare to this one.
The fish is always fresh. Also his creativity is awe inspiring. He manages to fuse ingredients in a way that the sushi melts on my pallet. One dish that has blown me away is his Tuna Tartar. He has managed to combine a French dish with a Japanese twist and what resulted was a magical taste.
The service is something to envy; I never felt neglected for a moment. All my requests were fulfilled promptly with a pleasant smile. The atmosphere at the restaurant truly epitomizes San Francisco: hip, upbeat, and friendly.
Self-Serve Sushi – My hopes for this neighborhood sushi joint were left floundering like a cold, dead fish.
Apparently, our waitress was sucked into a black hole.
Ever played that game of calculating the distance from your table to the door and if you could get away with not paying your bill because the waitress refused to bring it to you?
It was Sunday night. Four tables were filled. There should have been no excuse for the staff's inattentiveness. Our waitress/astronaut offered no apologies about our missing AND incorrect order. Had she been truely repentant, I MIGHT have reconsidered going back there again.
Whenever I walk/drive by I check to see if anyone is "working" there. All I see are tables of bewildered customers, who are probably trying to make the best of a waitress-less evening.
p.s. the sushi chef went outside to smoke a cigarette AND THEN MADE OUR SUSHI!!!
Great neighborhood spot for fresh sushi! – A weekly drop-in has become habit now, as I've become addicted to the great sushi and value at this friendly neighborhood sushi bar. A small restaurant with a warm atmosphere, Sushi Rapture doesn't offer anything different from the norm, just fresh fish at reasonable prices. Amazing happy hour deals, a beer or sake and choice of several rolls for $5!! Great place worth trying.

A highly accomplished sculptor, Carol Tarzier focuses her talents on bronze figures, while also reaching out to the fields of abstract sculpture, oil painting, and pastels. Centering the aesthetic of her widely exhibited sculpture on the gestural lines of the human figure, Tarzier is equally inspired by color shaping light and form on canvas. Tarzier's influential public commissions include the C.L. Dellums Commemorative Sculpture at Jack London Square Amtrak Station in Oakland, California and the George Hasslein Memorial Sculpture Project at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, California. Tarzier has also been awarded the National Sculpture Society's Gold Medal, Maurice B. Hexter Prize, and Alex J. Ettl Grant; and the John Cavanaugh Memorial Award for Figurative Sculpture. Currently, Tarzier's artwork is represented by the Dennis Rae Fine Art in San Francisco, California, and the Epperson Gallery in Crockett, California.

Free Slurpee Drinks at 7-Eleven on Thursday July 11th
When I think of 7-Eleven, I immediately think of my dad taking me and my brother out for a Slurpee on a hot Saturday afternoon. My brother and I both preferred to mix the Coca-Cola and Wild Cherry flavors in one cup. I'd be willing to bet the Slurpee was a big part of your childhood too.
Well, once again, 7-Eleven is celebrating its birthday by giving away free Slurpee drinks.
When is their birthday? July 11th (7/11), of course.
From 11am-7pm (local time) on Thursday, participating 7-Eleven stores from coast to coast will give away free Slurpee drinks in celebration of their birthday.
In years past, 7-Eleven gave away 7.11 ounce Slurpee drinks, but this year, customers will be treated to a 12oz. Slurpee.
Get ready for the best brain freeze of all time.
What's your favorite flavor of Slurpee?

Bullet trains fuel real-estate booms, improve quality of life and create other unintended consequences by sharply reducing commute times from smaller cities to large megacities, economists from UCLA and China's Tsinghua University observed in a new study in China. A similar dynamic, they said, could play out as California builds its own high-speed rail system.

LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) - Lynchburg police say bomb-making ingredients have been found in the home of a student accused of bringing a chemical bomb to a school.
Capt. Ruan Zuidema tells The News & Advance that items found by investigators are similar in nature to the bomb that was brought to the Rivermont School last week. He declined to provide details.
Police have said the 14-year-old student brought the bomb to the school in his backpack. Staff became aware of the threat and took the bomb outside. State police took the bomb to a secure location away from the school and defused it.
Zuidema says the student has been charged with felony possession or manufacture of an explosive device.
No one was injured in the incident.

A book talk with Richard Baum and Manoranjan Mohanty
Wednesday, September 12, 20074:00 PM - 5:30 PM11377 Bunche HallUCLALos Angeles, CA 90095
Manoranjan Mohanty (University of Delhi) and Richard Baum (Political Science, UCLA), co-editors -- together with Rong Ma (Peking University) and George Mathew (Institute of Social Sciences, Delhi -- discuss Grassroots Democracy in India and China (Sage, 2007).
This anthology explores significant new parallel developments in rural governance in India and China.
In China, rural reforms have created conditions for rising prosperity, mainly in the coastal provinces. The emergence of multiple forms of enterprise ownership and the accompanying diversification of the rural economy have given rise to a variety of new social forces. In this environment, the introduction of competitive elections in rural China over the past fifteen years has created a new institution of rural empowerment and a set of political dynamics in the countryside.
In India too, local rural governance has undergone fundamental change. Following the 73rd Amendment of the Indian constitution, representative institutions have been constituted by mandatory elections. At least one-third of the seats in these local bodies have been reserved for women. In addition, seats have been proportionally reserved for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, and, at least in some states, for Backward Classes. The new Panchayats (village councils) have new powers both to carry out development and to manage local resources.

On View:
Tuesday, July 25, 1989 to Sunday, October 1, 1989
This exhibition features 84 works by 21 contemporary North American craftsmen and four early American settlers, all of whom work in turned-wood. The lathe has been used by craftsmen to hew blocks of wood into functional and decorative objects for thousands of years. In the 20th century, when mechanized mass-production replaced the hand lathe, the craftsmen who persisted in turning were able to more freely explore their own aesthetic. Works on view include those by Del Stubbs, Ed Moulthrop, James Prestini, Melvin Lindquist, and Ronald Kent, among others.
The majority of the objects on display are on loan from the Arizona State University at Tempe, which also organized the exhibition.

Your guide starts the tour of the winery with a movie that explains the history of the region, the types of grapes that have grown in the area throughout the years and the history of the Winery. After the movie your guide escorts you into a humid cellar that is lit with small lights hung from the ceiling that almost resembled old-fashioned lanterns. The temperature drops at least 20 degrees as you descend down the narrow staircase so you may want to bring a sweater, even on a hot day.
This is one of the really interesting parts of the tour as your guide tells you a bit more of the history of the area as well as the process used to make the wine and sparkling wines. You are shown oak barrels where many of the wines for future consumption are kept and steel barrels where the sweeter white wines are. We even got to meet one of the employees who are responsible for getting each bottle of wine to taste just right.
The tour ends with a wine tasting in a large room that looks a lot like a colonial ballroom that we found out later is used for banquets and other receptions. The wines were very good however I found the red wines to be the best at this winery. The Gabriel Archer Reserve, which is a hearty red wine with a lingering flavor of berries at the finish, was my personal favorite and would be delicious with a good steak. Try the Raspberry Merlot by Dominion Winery if you can as this is one of the most delicious desert wines I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Every sip of this luscious wine reminded me of dark chocolate and raspberries.
